Well, I just submitted my first IRTC entry.  Pretty exciting, although I
think I may have gone on a bit long in my text file since I was so
excited.  I wonder if anyone will read it all.  I submitted it now,
since I figured that anything else I would do to it would most likely
mess it up, and I won't have much time for it anyway in the next few
days.  Do most people usually wait until the last day to submit
entries?  Just curious.  I'm really looking forward to getting some
feedback on the image.  Did I mention that I'm excited?

It's been my experience that the text files are always read... people use
the info you give them in it when judging.  I'm looking forward to seeing
your entry!

Don't know about generally, but I'm usually tweaking
the pic right up til the last minute. (Left my scene rendering
this morning at 5 pps <crosses fingers> Hope it finishes in time,

The excitement usually hits about the 12th of the month for me
(waiting for results)

Welcome aboard, and good luck in the IRTC.  

Seems like a lot of new entrants this round, it'll be interesting
and no doubt refreshing to see the work of so many newcomers.

Well, I *was* going to submit my first image this time, but someone turned
the computer off on the *last day* of tracing.  I've got a 'continue
previous trace' started, but I don't think it'll finish in time. 
*grumblegrumble*

Btw, what time zone do they use for determining the date of submission?  ;)
I don't see it in the rules, but I could have easily missed it.

I'm pretty sure that I read that Pacific Standard Time is the time
zone used but don't quote me on it.

Doesn't matter.  It's taking 1.5 hours/line at this point, with 100 lines to
go.  I'll have to either send an unfinished (almost done, complete render,
but before I tweaked some things) render or just not enter.  Darn.

Pacific time. Besides, the real final deadline is when they stop it.
Often past midnight indeed. Once they start the script to generate
the web pages, etc, your stuck.
